That sounds to me the more natural way. However, I am afraid that seems
to be a corner case and not very many people seem to be interested.

I think the most common use case, that also git users use quite a bit,
would be the rebase command, since in my understanding vc does not
support it and so the ChangeLog in that case would be unavailable.
